At your own peril
You must not be alone,
the most harmful of conditions,
completely self-destructive
and what's worse, unconsciously,
because you get too focussed on yourself
and lose the right perspective,
getting stuck on your own grind-stone
with no possible detachment,
and thus you get beside yourself,
while relationship is all that helps,
the possibility to speak with someone
and to forget all about yourself,
which is what everybody needs
in order to go on surviving
and not get stuck in self-destructive egoism,
which is the surest way to mental suicide.
You have to care for someone,
life is only possible in co-operation, –
people who can't help each other
will never be able to help themselves.
